Getting Fried by WiFi in Airplanes

Since 9/11 the security protocols at airports have made flying stressful.

Now sometime in the past two years, flying has become life-threatening. In beautiful, comfortable new aircraft passengers (and the flight crews!) are being zapped by the non-ionizing radiation of WiFi.

Having internet access while en route on flights isn’t the danger when it’s WIRED, as it is in Boeing’s Dreamliner. It’s the WIRELESS technology that’s endangering. Yet it’s now being beamed through on most airlines. Whether it’s being used by passengers depends on, in part, whether it costs extra or is free.

In the tech press, the availability of WiFi on aircraft is focused on its availability, and whether it’s “safe” has nothing to do with the health of passengers and crews but whether your data is vulnerable on these networks.

But an enclosed metal container, whether subway, elevator, train car, auto or aircraft, is perhaps the worst environment for Radio Frequency contamination. The device is continually searching for the next tower, and RF is bouncing around the enclosure from every source in the container.

Lloyd’s of London declared in 2015 that the science shows conclusively that wireless technology causes non-ionizing radiation. Lloyd’s, the bellwether of the industry, announced that they are not covering health claims due to wireless devices in ordinary policies, and the entire insurance industry has followed.

To review some of the science that the insurance industry followed, see the German data bank of global Electromagnetic Frequency (EMF) research showing the biological effects of Radio Frequencies (RF) and EMF. Over 36k studies are posted at https://www.emf-portal.de. It’s in English and German. There’s also the science and resources at the Environmental Health Trust, https://ehtrust.org. And I have published magazine articles, blogs, and interviews at https://WomensMedicineBowl.com/Media

Radiation from wireless will cause tumors, cancers, and disabling diseases eventually in everyone who’s exposed. “Long-latency” it’s called in the industry. The younger the exposure, the sooner the disease.

Like asbestos, if you’re exposed to Wireless devices, you will experience illness. And nearly everyone living in the USA today is exposed to this pollutant.

On flights longer than two hours, the majority of passengers will go to sleep soon after take-off. For most others, a flight is a break from their daily stressors, and they look for entertainment. Very few need to continue “to receive and send messages” while en route.

Give us a break! Flying should be a get- away- from- it- all experience. Because much of the population has their face on a screen hours of the day, companies shouldn’t conclude that we want more of the same on a flight.

It’s harmful to our mental and physical health to sit for hours with Radio Frequencies beaming over every seat. For the estimated five percent of the population who are already sensitive to the radiation, this exposure in the plane cabin is life-threatening. And some 30 percent of the population is suffering from ElectroMagnetic Sensitivity and don’t know the cause of their health issues.

This was before the unleashing of 5G. Telecom admitted to Congress in February 2019, that there have been no studies on the safety and health effects of 5G. Now the population is experiencing the consequences. From 3G to 4G radiation levels were cranked up 10x. From 4G to 5G, an experiment in Sweden showed levels of radiation increased by 188x.

And there’s no one minding the gate for consumer protection. Why would the FAA permit WiFi on passenger aircraft? The FCC and FDA are jointly responsible for ensuring the safety of cell phones. Every government agency is failing to protect the public.

For flights from Mexico to Washington, DC on Delta Airlines, I was dressed in shielding clothes to protect me in cell-dense airports. That wasn’t enough for seven hours in a metal container (the cabin of a plane) with radio frequencies (RF) hitting me continuously.

I didn’t have the usual vice-like headache or heart palpitations from the RF during the flights, but my immune system was overwhelmed. Within 10 minutes of arriving at my destination, I was gasping with asthma. The immediate trigger was cat allergies, but I hadn’t had allergies to the cat for many years. It took several weeks for a complete recovery.

On the next cross-country flight, I discovered Alaska Airlines now provides entertainment online, and passengers are expected to bring their own screen! Again, the majority were sleeping, and about half of those awake had some form of activity that didn’t involve the internet.

For this flight with WiFi beaming through the cabin, I was outfitted in a tin-foil cape and a heavy-duty veil over my head, looking like a bee-keeper. But I arrived in better condition with this greater protection.

Now I’m looking to sew a burqa made of radiation- blocking fabric with a blocking mesh over my eyes. I’ll find a pattern in a Middle Eastern women’s clothing store.

Think Afghan fashion cum EMF garb.

I am the canary in the coal mine—the first one to fall from this pollutant we can’t see, hear, or smell. But I’m aware of the danger and health risks. The majority of the world’s population attached to their cell phones are unaware, and they’re suffering just the same.

Awareness is the first step to improving humanity’s condition with this electronic scourge.
